Epidermal growth factor stimulates secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin by cultured human choriocarcinoma cells

R Benveniste, KV Speeg Jr, G Carpenter, S Cohen, J Lindner and D Rabinowitz

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to JEG-3 cells, a tissue culture line of human choriocarcinoma. EGF also stimulates secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and to a lesser extent the secretion of free hCG-alpha.
